Police are searching for whoever snatched a gold chain from a three-year-old boy as he sat in his stroller in Brooklyn.

Police said the suspect grabbed the $300 necklace from the toddler late Tuesday night at a building on Reid Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Sources told the New York Post that the boy was being pushed by his mother in his stroller when the thief and an accomplice grabbed the chin from around his neck.

The paper said the necklace was a baptism present from the boy's godparents.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
